CROSSWORD #495: Paywalls

This is the only paywall that you're going to see on BEQ.com. It shall remain free, and that is my promise to you. Then again, I won't stop you from hitting up the tip jar. After all, there is a bonus Sunday-sized puzzle on the other end of that link.

For those in the buying mood, the AVXC launched finally, and yours truly's puzzle ran yesterday. Interested parties should sign up at the link. There's still time to get that original song written by me, too. What are you waiting for?
